Increase light hours autoflower
TerrazasBrewstarted grow question 3 years ago
My autoflowers are 6 weeks old and showing flowering signs.
Can I increase the number of light hours from 17hrs to 20/22/24hrs?
Does it cause light stress and can trigger vegetation or make it hermaphrodite?

Auto flowers don't care, you can change the light cycle every day. Randomly expose them to light to check on them or show a buddy. It is recommended to give them at least 4h of uninterrupted darkness. Lights out is recovery time and helps a plant grow big fat juicy buds.
Happy Growing.

Autos grow more with more like u can grow them under a light there whole life cycle but conditions must be perfect to grow 24/7 under a light but I would stick with 18 that seems to work best for everyone

Yes, you can do it. No, I wouldn’t tho.
Maybe bump it up to 18.. or 20 max (in my opinion). Plants need rest man. I ran all my autos at 18 thru the entire cycle.
It will not trigger re-vegetation, that’s not possible with proper autoflower genetics.
Causing herm? Doubt it. But you never know.
I would have run 20/4 or 24/0 early in Veg if you’re gonna do it. I personally Do not like the idea of running veg at a lower light cycle than in flower.. goes against natural light cycles.

LSTIf you use LST on autoflowers, is there any chance for them to finish later? I had an experience where I did LST on auto and it took more than 15 weeks to finish her cycle. She stressed out a bit, though. And how is it possible that some people achieve 8 weeks veg with autos?Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

18/6 leads to high temps in small tent; change light schedule or stick it out?Girls are at 18/6 and 3-4 hours before lights out the tent gets up to 90 degrees and humidity can’t compete.
Should I wait it out or try 16/8 moving towards 12/12 close to flowering (autoflower). Will lowering light exposure affect yield more than high temps would at 18/6Setup. Lighting

Need to upgrade grow lightI'm looking to buy a stronger light for around 200$ that can adequately cover a 4x5 space for veg/flower. I've been researching for weeks but can't decide. I'm currently running with two TOAD LED Grow Lights 600W, actual watts 85. They are Blurples. Any suggestions?Week 4

Gradually prepare for the "SWITCH"Hello all!
What is your way to prepare plants for the switch in terms of light?
Do you reduce hours of light slowly until the day of the "switch"? Do you gradually push up the power of the lamp?
At this time i am giving my ladies 24 hours of light, lamp at about 25% of power.Setup. Lighting
